Introduction

This website is aimed to guide physicians in choosing whether or not to treat patients with a radiotherapy boost after breast conserving therapy which includes surgical resection of the primary tumour and whole breast irradiation (BCT). It provides an interface to two models, so that both the benefits and the disadvantages of the radiotherapy boost treatment can be assessed:

Treatment decisions should always be based on clinical expertise. The models should only be used by physicians who are familiar with the complexity of treatment decisions in breast cancer. Patients are advised to ask their physician to fill in the model for them and discuss the results together.

By proceeding further on this website and using the models, you agree to the terms and conditions.
